BANANA RICE FLUFF

Ingredients......3 cups of ready cooked long grain rice, 3 eggs separated, 3 ripe bananas, 6 tbs of raw castor sugar, 1 tbs of lemon juice, 2 tbs of slivered almonds. Preheat your oven to 160 deg C. Grease a 22 cm pie dish. Beat the egg whites until firm, but not dry. Remove the egg whites from the mixer bowl to a clean dry bowl. Place the egg yolks, sugar, and lemon juice in the bowl of your mixer without rinsing the beaters. Beat at the highest speed, adding the fork mashed bananas. Beat until the mixture is thick and frothy. Fold in the egg whites using a metal spoon. Stir 2 tbs of lemon curd through the rice. Place the rice in the greased pie dish. Now pour the beaten mixyure over the rice and scatter with the slivered almonds. Place in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden.
